 How to Calculate Blower Capacity

How to calculate number of stops and pressure:

Step 1: Calculate the number of stops on each pressure.
Great 7 stops x 3.25” pressure = 22.75” pressure units
Great 1 stop x 5” pressure = 5” pressure units
Swell 7 stops x 4” pressure = 28” pressure units
Choir 7 stops x 3.5” pressure = 24.5” pressure units
Choir 1 stop x 8” pressure = 8” pressure units
Pedal 2 stops x 5” pressure = 10” pressure units
Pedal 3 stops x 4” pressure = 12” pressure units

Step 2: Add the total stops listed. Add the total pressure units.
28 stops 110.25” pressure units

Step 3: Divide the total pressure units calculated above by the total stops listed.
110.25” pressure units/28 total stops = 3.9375” average pressure
(round up = 4”)

Step 4: Use the Zephyr Capacity Chart to find the recommended blower size.
At 4” of pressure, a 2 hp Zephyr Blower will accommodate a 28 stop
organ.

Helpful Tips:
• When counting stops, Manual 16’ stops with more than 61 pipes and unit action
should be counted as two stops.
• The maximum required pressure may increase the required blower size. A Blowers
static pressure should be two to three inches higher than the maximum required
pressure at the windchest.
• For Blowers in locations with higher elevation, discount the capacity by 4% for each
1,000 feet above sea-level (assuming zero-feet elevation).
• Use of Hi-Static Fans increases C.F.M. by 10-20% depending on horsepower.
